Color

Glamour, art.

Red. This is actually the photo that inspired this ideabook. Everything about it screams "glamorous" to me - from the shiny wood floors to the fire engine red cabinets to the very sexy chandelier. It's a grown-up space that would still be great for kids.

This modern kitchen uses deep tones of red both in the cabinetry and in the floor mixed with the accents of black/wenge and light grey walls.

Red makes a bold, modern statement. I love the way these cabinets pop against glossy black and a rich floor. The neutral gray of the walls keeps the overall aesthetic balanced.

When it's this slick, shiny lipstick red, even a kitchen can be sexy. The open plan allows plenty of room for cooking together. Oysters, perhaps? Or fondue?

Even a kitchen can be a great place for a chandelier if it's chosen correctly. In this case, the chandelier over the dining table sets the dining area apart from the cooking area of the kitchen. Natural lighting creates most of the light for the room so the chandelier piece is more of a statement piece. It matches the rest of the kitchen area decor to keep a cohesive look throughout the room.
